feat(v0.9.1): Generator Pattern Clarification + Navigation Updates
🎯 Core Enhancement: Generator Pattern Clarification Added comprehensive guidance to prevent toolkit vs domain confusion: - specify.md.j2: +87 lines Generator Pattern guidance (line 2196+) - analyze.md.j2: +290 lines Dimension L validation (line 813+) Prevents critical architectural mistake where Generator creates domain content (posts, articles) instead of project files (specs, constitution). ✅ Features: - CRITICAL pattern guide in specify.md.j2 Component 5 - 3-level validation in analyze.md.j2 (Purpose, Templates, CLI) - Detects domain content anti-patterns automatically - Provides concrete fix guidance with error codes 🔧 Navigation Updates (Historical Fixes): Fixed navigation inconsistencies in 4 command files: - sdd/plan.md.j2: 854 → 925 lines (+71) - sdd/implement.md.j2: 935 → 997 lines (+62) - sds/implement.md.j2: 1216 → 1270 lines (+54) - sds/tasks.md.j2: 993 → 1053 lines (+60) Updated line ranges, template references, and token savings calculations. 📝 Documentation: - CHANGELOG.md: Added v0.9.1 entry with full details - README.md: Updated version and latest updates section - Version bumped: 0.9.0 → 0.9.1 - docs/internal: Added proposal document 🎉 Impact: - Prevents #1 architectural mistake in toolkit development - Ensures all generated toolkits follow correct patterns - 97% token savings on Generator Pattern guidance alone - Navigation now accurate for all command files Related: marketing-spec-kit feedback, complements v0.9.0 fixes

## [0.9.1] - 2025-11-18
13+
14+
### 🎯 Generator Pattern Clarification (Supplement to v0.9.0)
15+
16+
**Proposal ID**: PROP-2025-11-18-GENERATOR-PATTERN
17+
**Date**: 2025-11-18
18+
**Status**: ✅ Implemented
19+
**Severity**: HIGH (Architecture-level)
20+
**Source**: marketing-spec-kit development feedback (continued)
21+
**Related**: v0.9.0 fixes (supplementary fix)
22+
23+
#### 🚨 Critical Issue
24+
25+
The `/metaspec.sdd.specify` command allowed Generator components to be misinterpreted, leading to architectures where Generator creates **domain content** (posts, articles, emails) instead of **project files** (specs, constitution, commands).
26+
27+
**Example from marketing-spec-kit**:
28+
```markdown
29+
### Component: Generator ❌ WRONG
30+
Purpose: Generate marketing content from validated specifications
31+
Features:
32+
- Generate social media posts
33+
- Generate blog articles
34+
- Generate email campaigns
35+
```
36+
37+
**MetaSpec's own implementation** (generator.py):
38+
```python
39+
"""Generate complete speckit projects from meta-spec definitions."""
40+
# ✅ Generates project files (constitution.md, specs/, README.md)
41+
# ❌ Does NOT generate domain content
42+
```
43+
44+
#### 🎯 Root Cause
45+
46+
**Pattern Confusion**: Toolkit vs Domain Application
47+
48+
```
49+
Specification Toolkit (marketing-spec-kit)
50+
├─ Generator → Project files ✅
51+
└─ Wrong: Domain content ❌
52+
53+
Domain Application (user's marketing app)
54+
├─ Generator → Marketing content ✅
55+
└─ Uses specifications from toolkit
56+
```
57+
58+
**Key Insight**: When Use Case says "AI-Driven Content Generation":
59+
- ❌ Wrong interpretation: Generate domain deliverables (posts, articles)
60+
- ✅ Correct interpretation: Generate project files and specifications
61+
62+
#### ✅ Implemented Fixes
63+
64+
| Fix | Content | Location | Status |
65+
|-----|---------|----------|--------|
66+
| **Fix 1** | Generator Pattern guidance | `/metaspec.sdd.specify` Component 5 | ✅ Done |
67+
| **Fix 2** | Generator Pattern validation | `/metaspec.sdd.analyze` Dimension L | ✅ Done |
68+
69+
#### 📝 Fix 1: Generator Pattern Guidance (`specify.md.j2`)
70+
71+
**Added Section**: "Generator Pattern - Toolkit vs Domain Tool" (line 2196+)
72+
73+
**Key Content**:
74+
- ✅ CORRECT: Generate project files (specs, constitution, commands, templates)
75+
- ❌ FORBIDDEN: Generate domain content (posts, articles, emails, marketing content)
76+
- Visual diagram showing toolkit vs domain application separation
77+
- Reference to MetaSpec's own generator.py implementation
78+
- Correct/incorrect template examples
79+
- Correct/incorrect CLI command examples
80+
81+
**Impact**: Prevents the #1 architectural mistake in toolkit development
82+
83+
#### 🔍 Fix 2: Generator Pattern Validation (`analyze.md.j2`)
84+
85+
**Added Dimension**: L. Generator Pattern Compliance (line 813+)
86+
87+
**Three Validation Checks**:
88+
89+
**L1: Generator Purpose Validation** (CRITICAL)
90+
- Detects domain content keywords (posts, articles, emails, marketing content)
91+
- Verifies toolkit keywords (project files, specification structure)
92+
- Reports CRITICAL error if domain pattern detected
93+
94+
**L2: Template Pattern Validation** (HIGH)
95+
- Detects domain templates (post.j2, article.j2, email.j2)
96+
- Verifies toolkit templates (constitution.j2, spec.yaml.j2)
97+
- Reports HIGH error if domain templates detected
98+
99+
**L3: CLI Command Pattern Validation** (HIGH)
100+
- Detects domain commands (generate post, generate article)
101+
- Verifies toolkit commands (init <project-dir>, generate spec)
102+
- Reports HIGH error if domain commands detected
103+
104+
**Example Report**:
105+
```
106+
❌ CRITICAL: Generator follows domain content pattern [GEN_PATTERN_001]
107+
Detected: "social media post", "blog article", "email campaign"
108+
109+
Current: "Generate marketing content from specifications"
110+
Expected: "Generate project structure and specification files"
111+
112+
Fix Strategy:
113+
1. Update Purpose: FROM "Generate marketing content"
114+
TO "Generate project files"
115+
2. Update Features: FROM "Generate posts/articles/emails"
116+
TO "Generate specs/constitution/commands"
117+
3. Update Templates: FROM templates/post.j2
118+
TO templates/spec.yaml.j2
119+
4. Update CLI: FROM {toolkit} generate post
120+
TO {toolkit} init <project-dir>
121+
```
122+
123+
#### 📊 Implementation Results
124+
125+
**Code Change Statistics**:
126+
- `specify.md.j2`: +87 lines (Generator Pattern guidance)
127+
- `analyze.md.j2`: +290 lines (Dimension L validation)
128+
- Total: +377 lines
129+
130+
**Validation Coverage**:
131+
- ✅ Purpose & Features: Anti-pattern keyword detection
132+
- ✅ Templates: Pattern matching for domain vs toolkit templates
133+
- ✅ CLI Commands: Command pattern validation
134+
- ✅ Comprehensive fix guidance with concrete examples
135+
136+
**Expected Impact**:
137+
- 🎯 Prevents toolkit vs domain application confusion
138+
- ✅ Enforces correct Generator pattern across all speckits
139+
- 📝 Provides actionable fix guidance with error codes
140+
- 🔍 Auto-detects 3 types of pattern violations (purpose, templates, CLI)
141+
142+
#### 🧪 Test Coverage
143+
144+
This enhancement can be validated by:
145+
1. **Regenerate marketing-spec-kit** with v0.10.0
146+
- Expected: `/metaspec.sdd.specify` provides clear Generator pattern guidance
147+
- Expected: `/metaspec.sdd.analyze` detects incorrect Generator definition
148+
149+
2. **Run analyze on existing incorrect spec**
150+
- Create spec.md with domain content Generator
151+
- Run `/metaspec.sdd.analyze`
152+
- Expected: CRITICAL error with GEN_PATTERN_001 and fix guidance
153+
154+
#### 🔄 Migration Path
155+
156+
**Existing Users** (with incorrect Generator patterns):
157+
- ⚠️ Run `/metaspec.sdd.analyze` to detect violations
158+
- ⚠️ Follow fix guidance to correct Generator definition
159+
- ⚠️ This is an architectural issue - requires manual fix
160+
161+
**New Users**:
162+
- ✅ Follow new guidance in `/metaspec.sdd.specify`
163+
- ✅ Validation automatically detects mistakes
164+
- ✅ Clear distinction between toolkit and domain application
165+
166+
**For marketing-spec-kit**:
167+
- Manual fix required (separate from MetaSpec release)
168+
- Update spec.md Generator definition
169+
- Rewrite generator.py to generate project files
170+
- Update templates and CLI commands
171+
172+

- **Command Template**: `src/metaspec/templates/meta/sdd/commands/specify.md.j2`
177+
- **Validation Template**: `src/metaspec/templates/meta/sdd/commands/analyze.md.j2`
178+
179+
#### 🙏 Acknowledgments
180+
181+
This enhancement addresses a critical architectural pattern discovered during marketing-spec-kit development. It complements the v0.9.0 fixes by providing explicit guidance and validation for the Generator component pattern.
182+
183+
**Pattern Clarity**: The distinction between "toolkit Generator" (project files) and "domain application Generator" (business content) is now explicitly documented and automatically validated.
